Got a chance today to make my way to the farm for shooting - it is not raining here today! That is somewhat of a change.

I have had this rifle out a couple of times since I got the rifle, but this trip was to be a final sight in.

I was shooting the Lehigh .458x260CF-HP sabotless. The bore in these new fast twist Knight 45's are tighter than the older Super DISC 45's and the are far better in the concentric department.

This is the bullet from the factory... .458x260





To use these bullets in the new 45 bores - I need to resize the 'drive barbs' to .451. The bullet Ogive measures right at .449



Resized and ready to go!



Back to the trip - Todays trip was to verify sight in. So I placed 5 clay birds in the upcoming Lentil at 100 yards. Then load up and start the shooting process - It was a really good day!

Glad you had a good day. I was out today also. (see my post in the traditional section). I got my Hawken barrel back from Bob Hoyt. It was a .50 cal that I had relined to .45 with a 1:20 twist. Considering this was its virgin run at the range it did fantastic. I think with a little tinkering and more shooting it will be a darn good barrel.
I just got done casting a couple hundred 350 gr .458" bullets that I'll size down to .451" and lube.

Sabotloader, those aren't bullets - they're jewelry.
